for us because on this land where it was for many years, the rail yard, the wrong side of the tracks the warehouse buildings. about a year ago there was a vision that this site would be the hospital for the people of san francisco in california and the country in the world. today we celebration this vision becoming a reality. on monday of this week at the far end of this block, we began seeing patients in the conaway medical building outpatient center and in just 3 days on sunday morning we will start caring for patients in the women's hospital, the baker cancer hospital and the children's hospital of san francisco, the lobby of which we are sitting in right now. it took a village to make this happen. there are so many people in this room here today who were critical to its

planning, it's construction, it's operational planning. it's approvals and support to make it happen. we will introduce some of those people later this morning, but i in particular want to bring your attention to the generosity of our philanthropic supporters, benny lynn who served for many years. [ applause ] next to lynn is dick rosenberg who has chaired the ucsf foundation and currently chairs the ucsf health board and member of the health member cabinet. thank you, dick.

[ applause ] . next to barbara to her left is ron conaway who the ron conaway

family has been extremely generous to us and ron also served on our campaign cabinet for years. thank you in particular to our supporters. i do want to acknowledge chuck phinney, a philanthropyist and betty moore who are major supporters and for the betty irene hospital is made. why did we build this hospital? it was stimulated by seismic requirements to update our facilities. that was just the beginning for us. we wanted to have on this site a link of clinical programs to the research campus just across the street. we wanted to develop modern facilities that better served our patients and

famous -- families in a true healing environment. you see our various hospitals have been a destination for people around the world and we've been bursting at our seems. this has been a tremendous opportunity for san francisco and that in mind i would like to introduce the chancellor of ucsf, a colleague of mine for years who started at ucsf and led our neonatal intensive care unit and dean of the medical school and now ucsf chancellor. help me in welcoming him. [ applause ] . >> thank you, let me begin by

thanking you for your extraordinary leadership in the last decade and helping us envision this hospital and doing a lot of the hard work on many fronts to enable us to get to this really magnificent day which is a landmark day for health care in not just the city of san francisco but in the greater bay area and tluts the united states and some places globally. it is truly a remarkable building but as mark said while we are celebrating the completion of the facilities today, what will happen on sunday is really the event we are looking forward to and that is welcoming families and patients into these facilities to enhance their care, provide care, healing and world class medicine and technology. just to the north of us for those of us who aren't familiar with the mission bay campus lies more

than 2 million square feet of state of the art research space unquestionably the best research now and this hospital will compliment that so we could not only provide state of the art care but we can reinvent the future of medicine as we know it over the next decade. these facilities have been a magnet for me and others in the children's hospital and the women's hospital in fact throughout ucsf health care to attract world class talent to san francisco so we can be leaders. just tomorrow, the president in the white house will announce a major national precision on medicine, a concept born here at ucsf and we are very proud to be leaders in what will be a revolution in medicine over the next

decade. i would like to recognize many of the leaders of our faculty and staff who are here in the room, leaders of the children's hospital. donna ferraro and ronald lynn and a most recent faculty we've been able to recruit from london. with the weather today he thinks it was a great idea. welcome, alan, to this event. now i would like to recognize supervisor jane kim who told me this is her hospital. thank you very much for joining us this morning. now, this hospital in all of it's complexity would not have occurred or would not have taken place in the way it has without the tremendous support of the mayor of our city of san francisco and the entire board of supervisors who worked with us very closely on many

many initiatives to make this hospital the world class facility it is and the asset to the city and county of san francisco. to mention just a couple, we have the first and only hello pad in san francisco from the conaway family gateway medical office building. outside the plaza you see here resulted from the board of supervisors agreeing to close fourth street and enhance the hospital for the care of our patients. it's my great pleasure to introduce mayor ed lee and to thank him and the entire board of supervisors for their support on this remarkable project. mr. mayor. [ applause ] >>mayor edwin m. lee: wow, good morning, everyone. this is so exciting. i want to first of all congratulate chancellor and mark for

your wonderful leadership. the relationship between uc san francisco, our general hospital in the city is one that is very very unique. but before i go through more of the details that i'm excited today to reflect on, let me say this, you know, there is a new gold rush in san francisco. and the gold rush is about talent, not about nugget of gold, but about nuggets of knowledge and talent. this is what you have seen san francisco has been mining for many decades. it's a gold rush. i want to say that because that was one of the most exciting times in the history of our city. i want to compare that to what is happening here in mission bay and with our relationship with ucsf that they are mining the future and the present talent of the entire world

to come here and to innovate and that is attracting as much as what san francisco was in the late 1800s when we said gold but opportunities to improve lives, to save lives. to improve the livelihood of family and children is the new gold rush. that is why today san francisco is on a 3.8 percent unemployment rate in the city. it's lowest in its entire history, modern history that we know because the health care industry, particularly through the leadership of ucsf is driving this talent gold rush in the city. i have to say and i will continue always and i know supervisor kim knows every time i come down here i have to remind you that you are standing on the 160-yard line

from my six iron at the mission bay driving range. when mayor willie brown and then after him mayor gave news some had the vision to have the research center here and establish with cooperation with ucsf and provide the first blocks i was there hitting my golf balls in the very under utilized rail yard not knowing what was going to be the future and then mayor willie brown invited me to be the director of public works and we got to work making sure that the infrastructure of this new mission bay was going to be done in such a way that it enticed private investments and i think we did it the right way. uc let it, but now you look

at a multitude of campus with entities out here with the stem cell and the biocompanies and all of what ucsf medical campus has invited here. it's an incredible story and one that i know the brookins institute has documented but more and more i will say that anyone who is looking at any city and any urban area has to understand how you take under utilized land and transform it. you have to lead with a talent. i often thought when i was in my earlier years that ucsf was kind of the camelot campus there. a lot of things were happening. we didn't know whether or not this was going to be able to flower as it has

been done. they didn't do it alone. it was a partnership that had to be really cemented with a strong vision of all the different things that we wanted to have happen because you can imagine 10 years ago, i think a lot of people would have doubted whether or not stem cell was the right thing and biotech research and all the things that uc was talking to us about whether we could embrace it in a way in which it has demonstrated itself today. well, not only did they cause belief in the city but they also got fantastic partners to do the same, business leaders from this incredible city. today on this medical campus, it's three outpatient facilities established here. wonderful collaboration with our leaders. i want to acknowledge again the leadership that was put here by mark and

lynn benny hoff by establishing the children's hospital, not just here but they made that similar commitment to oakland health care. it has no boundaries. it shouldn't just happen in mission bay. it has to happen for the entire region. i'm happy to see this happening in our mission bay. i think not only great leaders, but they lead with commitment to improve people's lives and their health. for a children's hospital in a most modern facility here that is ultimately the gold rush attraction. to have gerson and barbara baker cancer center here. yet again another demonstration of people who are not only in the business community, but have matched up what they truly believe in, in helping improve people's

lives. cancer has yet to be solved, but i know somewhere in mission bay, some kid working in some laboratory now in addition to making the right chromosomes to make me taller in the future, they will solve the serious cancers of today. i want to acknowledge bob gers on and barbara for their help today and betty moore williams center hospital is a third part of this. a tribute to the needs of women and families will be right here. again, led by wonderful business leaders who also saw the need to have this happen. my good friend ron and ron and gail conaway to establishing the outpatient clinic, yes another great business leader who in many ways demonstrated along with the

others their commitment to improving lives for everyone establishing this outpatient clinic. all in all the talent continues to attract more and more people. i want to give a big shout out to its entire foundation and & board of trustees and that all of you are helping us understand these unique relationships that have to happen if we are going to be a successful city. health care is our no. 1 job creator industry right now. it's the tremendous contribution to not only unemployment, but to the accelerating of so many other jobs, so many buildings. it will be a fantastic mission bay that will also have the tribute of having a new

warriors reason -- arena not far from us and there is a youth and excitement happening in the city and all for mission bay that was very under utilized throughout the years but our imagination took over the people that drove it so well. now to have a chancellor that indicated a national discussion led in great part by uc to have this happen in our hometown here is an incredible story. it's a big thank you to this $1.5 billion campus of enthusiasm, of innovation. this will be a big big reason why we are asking and inviting 400 mayor's this june to come to san francisco and look what we have and what we can demonstrate in this

collaboration. i know phil forest and mark, you are going to be excited to introduce all of these mayor's to what all of the things that are happening here can be demonstrated across the entire country. i know these other mayor's are going to be asking a lot of great questions about how this happened. i'm going to be telling them, unless you have a city that is collaborative, unless you have investments from the private sector, unless you have businesses understanding what we are trying to do, uc couldn't do this alone, the city couldn't do this alone. it's the entire magic collaboration that exhibits the entire gold rush going on in our city. with that, if i may present to mark and to chancellor today has got to be uc medical center day in san

francisco. [ applause ] >> thank you, mayor lee. as we were planning these facilities, we had lots of input, architects, others who built hospitals but we wanted to pay attention to the people who knew what a hospital is all about most personally. that was the patients and families who use it. i'm very pleased today to introduce sally mcdonald. she's a third generation city

san san franciscan. sally was great to share her insights to make sure the facilities we built would serve families. please help me in welcoming ms. mcdonald. [ applause ] . >> thank you very much. i am very honored to be here representing the voice of families who will use these hospitals. ucsf has living to my voice and the voice of other family members throughout the several years it took to get these buildings designed and built. they listened to the concerns that families had about being able to stay in the room with the patients and now they can. they listened to concerns about a need for a private place for families to gather or to

speak to doctors without the earshot of a patient and work them into the design. they listened to the needs of mom's like me or close family members of any patient to be part of the team and usually appreciated the input i gave. they understood that when a family member is in the hospital, time tops, -- stops, but the world continues and to find ways to assist families and keeping their world together while being there for the patient and they are providing resources for the families. something as simple as the use of a fax machine or washing machine can be a godsend. ucsf providedthat. unlessu

you have a member of your family who needs this level of care you will understand how helpful they are for families. many in hospitals have many patients who spend weeks in a hospital and many coming from long distance to be near the familyas family support system. as my daughter who spent much of her life in the hospital. i spent many days in the hospital into all the hours of day and night. now with the new hospital it is a whole new world. i do want to publically thank ucsf for the wonderful care my daughter received throughout her whole life. maggie was a pioneer in a pioneer hospital. she was lucky enough to live

longer because of this hospital. maggie's life was even longer and even better. thank you. [ applause ] >> thank you, sally. well, sunday is super bowl, but it is our super bowl here at ucsf as well. we will be moving close to 200 patients from our hospitals to this magnificent new facility here at mission bay. we are asking for our community support as there are going to be 40 ambulances. one leaving every 4 minutes from there to here. we are hoping for a

minimum of disruption, but if there is any disruption we apologize to our community in advance. i want to thank in particular the san francisco police department greg suhr and san francisco fire department chief white for their help to execute this on sunday morning. before we wrap up, we've got a couple more things to do. i just want to mention some of the logistics. at the end of the prepared remarks here, we are going to have people who are involved with constructing the building. we are going to have, we have people who are experts in what will happen on the move on sunday. we have tours around the he technology and so feel free to take time

to tour with any of the guest here. to close, we thought about having a ribbon cutting but it didn't seem true to san francisco style to have a ribbon cutting. so we thought about what we do with our cancer patients when they complete their cancer treatment. the tradition is to commemorate the beginning of a healthy new life following cancer care by ringing a bell. so what kind of bell did we need here inform -- for this special moment? we needed a new bell and thanks to the san francisco municipal authority we have a cable car bell being running. -- rung. we are going to ask a special

person to ring the bell. he's a successful filmmaker. he's only 19 years old. he was diagnosed with carcinoma last june and recuperating from a successful surgery to save his leg. dr. rob has been his physician. [ applause ] and dr. goldsby has confidence that okshay will be the first cancer patient to complete his treatment here at mission bay. [ applause ] ok shay is very impressive successful filmmaker and completing his

last round of treatment and heading to uc davis for school. we are very proud of you. i would like those here to please stand and ok shay, we would like you to ring the bell. [ applause ] .
